What is it about Neymar’s private aircraft that has so many people captivated?

The Brazilian football player Neymar is a huge fan of high-end automobiles, and he owns one of the most stunning collections of supercars worldwide. But his interests go beyond automobiles. Neymar spent an estimated $13.7 million USԀ for a Mercedes-Benz Airbus H-145 personal helicopter in 2019.

The helicopter is painted black, inspired by Batman, which is Neymar’s favorite superhero.

Launched in 2015, the Mercedes-Benz Airbus H-145 is a light personal helicopter with two engines. This is a joint venture between the renowned Airbus Helicopters and the German automaker Mercedes-Benz.

Two Turbomeca Arriel 2E engines, each with 900 horsepower, power the helicopter. Its dry weight is 2,449 kg, and its top speed is 240 km/h. Its range is 640 km.

The H-145 has a maximum cargo capacity of 3,700 kg and can accommodate up to 8 passengers, 2 pilots, and luggage. Its proportions, measuring 11.69 x 2.4 x 4 metres (without propellers), make it a desirable option among personal helicopters. The Helionix avionics, which provide all required information and support the pilot in any circumstance, are operated via three sizable screens in the cockpit.

The Mercedes-Benz Airbus H-145 is also equipped with the most advanced 4-axis autopilot system, stability support at high altitude, and automatic take-off. The passenger compartment was developed by Mercedes-Benz, featuring high-class leather interior, improved entertainment system, and a Wi-Fi hotspot onboard.

Neymar’s personal helicopter is located in Brazil and is often used by the football star to travel to the training ground with the national team. The whole body of the helicopter is painted in glossy black, inspired by Batman, the superhero that Neymar loves so much. The tail of the helicopter has the initials NJR, which stands for Neymar Jr.

The purchаse of the helicopter was worth 10 million pounds, equivalent to 13.7 million USԀ, which is more expensive than the villa behind, costing only 7 million pounds. Neymar’s personal helicopter is a symbol of his success, wealth, and extravagant lifestyle.
